Rating: NNNNN


Detroit-reared jazz piano marvel staging a solo tour de force at the Glenn Gould Studio Friday (November 12), no doubt involving songs from her just-released trio set The Life Of A Song (Telarc/Universal)

Miles Davis // The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions

“I’ve been spending a lot of time with In A Silent Way and Jack Johnson, studying the interaction between Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Miles. I’m really inspired by the textures they created and the split-second timing.”

Harvey Mason // With All My Heart

“It’s got many of the major piano players on the scene right now. I find it really interesting to hear the different approach to the piano people are taking.”

Herbie Hancock // Gershwin’s World

“I think it’s one of the great works of our time. The way Herbie made that Ravel concerto his own by improvising within the written work is just a knockout. This is a breakthrough.”
